Javier Hernandez-Gonzalez, 40, was stabbed three times in the chest with a large knife, said Sgt. Bob Ray, a sheriff’s office spokesman. His injuries were not life-threatening, Ray said, and he was taken to OHSU Hospital via ambulance.

His condition was not immediately available Friday, Dec. 27. On Christmas, the sheriff’s office reported his condition was stable.

About 12:25 a.m. on Christmas Day, a woman called 911 and reported that her boyfriend had stabbed her 40-year-old ex-husband at a holiday party in her home. She further told deputies that her boyfriend, Diubel Navarro-Gonzalez, sped off from the scene, located in the 3900 block of Southwest Pinewood Way, in his white Ford Explorer.

Police pulled over Navarro-Gonzalez, 31, on Southwest Canyon Road in Beaverton a few minutes later and took him into custody without incident, authorities said.

Sheriff's deputies found "a significant amount of evidence in the vehicle" to connect Navarro-Gonzalez to the stabbing, Ray said. Inside the vehicle, deputies found a bloody kitchen knife with an 8-inch blade, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Washington County Circuit Court.

After seeing a photograph of the weapon, Navarro-Gonzalez's girlfriend told deputies the knife found in the vehicle was the same knife her boyfriend grabbed from the kitchen and used to stab Hernandez-Gonzalez, the affidavit says. The deepest wound Hernandez-Gonzalez suffered was beneath his left arm, according to records.

Navarro-Gonzalez, of Portland, was booked into the Washington County Jail on accusations of second-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

Ray said the stabbing occurred after the two men became involved in an argument at the Christmas party. He did not have specifics on what the argument was about.

On Thursday, Dec. 26, Navarro-Gonzalez was arraigned in Circuit Court on charges of first-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon, according to court records. His next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 3.
